Gov. Scott Walker and Dem rival Mary Burke were again neck-and-neck in the latest Marquette University Law School poll.

The survey found Walker edging Burke 46 percent to 45 percent among registered voters, while Burke was up 47-46 among likely voters. Both gaps were well within the margin of error.

In May, the race was tied at 46 among registered voters, while Walker had a 48-45 edge among likely voters.

In the latest poll, Walker had a slight edge among independents 45-44, compared to 49-40 in May.

The poll was conducted July 17-20 after both campaigns went back on the airwaves. The survey included 804 registered voters, of whom 549 said they were likely to vote in November. The margin of error for the full sample was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, while it was 4.3 percentage points for likely voters.
